Quote
"The most beautiful part of your story, even when these terrible things happen, the more empowering part and the more impactful part is in how did you move on. And so when you look at your circumstances in this way that creates you to be a victim, then you make choices that a victim makes… Whereas when you look at yourself as someone who's overcome something, then you can look at yourself through a perception of empowerment and then you're making choices that an empowered person makes." ~ Mary Shores
